Review by Nick H. Peggle 2 has seen the introduction of another character to its zany roster of Masters, or in this case it might be considered more of a reintroduction as Jimmy Lightning from the original Peggle is back. By now it is no secret that I am a…
Read MoreReview by Andrew M. What makes a mobile game insanely addictive? Sitting down to play Nun Attack Origins: Yuki’s Silent Quest. Playing this for the first time, I instantly had the same feelings I had when I was lost in an Angry Birds black hole a few years back; I…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Here Be Monsters is making a bold claim; it’s an “MMO where Google Maps meets Wikipedia meets Animal Crossing.” It’s a game that’s fun, informative, deeply social and now, available worldwide.
